Armed robbery suspect reportedly reveals that he has
successfully robbed countless victims with the use of a toy gun.
The suspect identified as Paul Bassey, 25, has narrated how
he successfully used a painter’s gun-like spraying instrument to rob a Good
Samaritan, who gave him a lift and many others.
The Nigerian Tribune reports that Bassey had just robbed a
car owner of his vehicle and other valuables, before his apprehension by the
operatives of the RRS along Lekki-Epe Expressway.
One of the RRS officers speaking on the issue, said:
We were on routine patrol duty when we suddenly saw a
vehicle on high speed coming behind us.
The said vehicle overtook us and its
driver forcefully opened the door and started shouting for help. Immediately,
we gave the car a hot chase which led to the arrest of a young guy, later
identified as Paul Bassey.
Upon his arrival at the RRS Headquarters in Alausa, Bassey
had finally confessed to the crime, saying:
“I was a lone operator and employ the tactics of stopping
private car drivers to seek for lift. Once I enter into the car, I will point
the iron-made gun at their head to subject them to my control.
If they
cooperate with me I will only collect their belongings and let them go but if
they drag with me, I will use my stainless toy gun to hit them.
“I did operate very early in the morning and late at night
because they won’t know that I was using fake gun to threaten them”.
The victim identified as Mr David Oriakhi, who had followed
the suspect to the RRS’s Headquarters in Alausa, revealed his regret for
offering a stranger a lift.
